Looking for drywall repair in Denver CO? Drywall damage can range from minor scuffs, which are easily removed, to large major damage that requires professional help. There are many causes of drywall damage but most (or all) should be repairable. Here are four examples of common causes of drywall damage: Denver CO Drywall Repair
1. Water Damage
A common cause of damage to drywall can be due to water damage. A leaky or burst pipe, or even a leaking roof can be the source of major damage. If water soaks into the walls, it can cause the walls to be unsafe and weak. Water damaged walls can also accumulate mold if not fixed efficiently. Mold growing on the interior of a home is bad for one’s health and can impact the living conditions. Get professional drywall repair right away from a local drywall contractor.
2. Unresolved Small Cracks
If a seemingly harmless small crack on drywall goes unnoticed or unresolved for an extended period of time, it can lead to a larger issue and cause more serious damage. A little crack in the wall can grow as the house shifts and settles. As the crack grows, it weakens the wall and structure thus creates a dangerous environment. Also, if drywall is installed incorrectly, this can be a cause as to why there are cracks in the wall and a sign that it is unstable. These small to large cracks should be repaired quickly by a drywall company.
3. Furniture
Furniture can be a common cause of damage to drywall, but is often minor damage. When moving around large pieces of furniture, especially in small spaces, it is hard to avoid the walls. When rubbed against the wall in the wrong way, furniture can leave scuff marks on drywall. These scuff marks are unattractive sights. These can easily be cleaned up without professional help. However, there are times furniture can cause more damage. If a lamp or shelf falls over it might leave a dent or scrape in the wall. Another cause can be from furniture being placed too closely to a wall. Over the years, it shifts from being used or sat on, then the furniture rubs against the wall and causes an indent and damage the drywall.
4. Termite Damage
Termites can be little buggers and do damage wherever they go. One of the places can be in drywall. There is a wide range of visible damage that termites cause. It is best to catch them early before they do too severe damage to a home causing it to be unsafe to live in. Some common signs that there is a termite infestation include pinholes in the wall, paint lifting up by bubbling or peeling, sounds hollow when knocking on the wall, or sawdust-like material gathering. Contact a pest control or exterminator to remove any termites. Drywall contractors can address the damage and determine what needs to be done for drywall repair.
